How is the normal lapse rate in the troposphere linked with weather formation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It influences vertical convection and lifting of moisture
The governing concept is the environmental lapse rate, or the decrease of temperature with height. In the troposphere, surface-heated air may remain warmer and less dense than the air above it, so it rises by convection. Rising air expands, cools, and can reach saturation; condensation then helps form clouds and may produce precipitation. The lapse rate does not destroy all ozone, densify the exosphere, or stop Earth’s rotation. Therefore, option A is correct.
